Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 406
Zhao Kuangyin knew very well that whether the power and strength of the Huaxia Weifu could be kept as undamaged as possible, and they could always guarantee their loyalty to him, depended entirely on these three people.

When Li Junhao arrived, Jia Xian and Han Hu had already arrived.

After Li Junhao knelt down and bowed to the emperor, Zhao Kuangyin said gently, "Aiqing is flat."

When Li Junhao got up, Zhao Kuangyin was ready to say some words of encouragement and praise, so as to further make Li Junhao show his loyalty to him.In the end, before he could speak, Li Junhao took the lead and said: "Your Majesty! I have received the latest information on the murder of the chief envoy. It has been verified that there are people in the Song court involved in the murder of the chief envoy."

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin was immediately furious. He always thought that Ye Chen's death was caused by the Maitreya Sect. The latest investigation results sent by the Huaxia Weifu also suspected that the Holy Church might be involved.That is to say, it was the Holy Church and the Maitreya Sect, the two confidantes and deadly enemies of Song Dynasty, who joined forces to kill Ye Chen.But he never thought that his own courtiers would also participate in it.

"Li Aiqing, you told me the latest investigation information in detail. I want to know who is forcing me to kill his nine clans." Zhao Kuangyin gritted his teeth, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said coldly.

Li Junhao took out the small roll of cowhide from his sleeve, clasped his hands together, and said: "Here are the results and process of the investigation, Your Majesty please have a look at it yourself."

Xin Shi next to him had already cleverly stepped forward to take the small roll of cowhide, bowed and quickly presented it to Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin opened the kraft paper and took a look. First, the dragon's eyes widened, and then he stood up abruptly. Then his expression returned to calm. He glanced at Li Junhao, then swept his eyes across the entire hall, and said, "Li Junhao, Han Hu, Jia Xian The three stayed. The others all withdrew."

Including Wang Jien and Xin Shi, who were standing closest to Zhao Kuangyin, all the eunuchs and court ladies quickly retreated after bowing.Li Junhao looked as usual, while Han Hu and Jia Xian had some doubts and various bold guesses in their hearts.But they suddenly found that Zhao Kuangyin's expression was very different from just now.At this time, the ecstasy that came from the bottom of his heart could not be concealed.

Zhao Kuangyin laughed lightly and said, "Han Qing and Jia Qing might as well read what is written on it before we talk about it."

After Han Hu and Jia Xian watched it, the former was stunned, and then he felt admiration and joy for someone.The latter was so excited that his eyes were red and he lost his composure.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Okay, since this kid is not dead, and he has concealed it from the whole world, the demon monks of the Maitreya Sect and the rebels in the temple also think he is dead. At this time, he himself is hiding in the dark, lurking In Jiangnan, investigate the relationship between Jiangnan Bank and Jiangnan Commercial Firm and the Holy Church, and find a way to destroy the biggest source of support and wealth of the Holy Church. This is indeed a great opportunity. After all, in this world, the Northern Khitan is not counted. The biggest threat has always been the holy hall, and it is the holy hall that has always been the most dreadful thing in my heart. Even in my opinion, even if the previous Southern Han, Wuyue, and Southern Tang formed an alliance to fight against our Great Song Dynasty, the troubles would be It is far from being able to compare with the threat posed by the Holy Church to me and the Great Song Dynasty. Ye Qing is obviously very aware of this, so after surviving a catastrophe, he decisively took advantage of this opportunity. In order to ensure that Ye Qing can succeed The news that he is still alive must not be leaked to anyone other than the people mentioned in Ye Qing's secret memorial. At the same time, the three lovers must cooperate secretly with Ye Qing if they want to lead the Huaxia Weifu. Great plan, we must not let down this good opportunity to severely damage the Holy Church."

Li Junhao, Jia Xian, and Han Hu bowed and said in unison: "I will follow His Majesty's will."

Zhao Kuangyin smiled again and said: "Of course, in order not to be seen by interested people, the three lovers and I have to put on a good show together for the world and the whole world to see."

After Li Junhao came out of the palace, he went to Ye Mansion first.

Although Shui'er is eccentric, under the training of Yu Daoxiang and the ghost doctor successively, he has already learned extraordinary skills all over his body.Even at a young age, Kou Zhun is already unparalleled in wisdom and thoughtfulness.But these two little guys are too young after all, the city is too shallow, it is difficult to hide the true emotions in their hearts.Therefore, Li Junhao did not tell them that someone was still alive.

Li Junhao went all the way into the Ye Mansion, found Ma Gangzi with a sad face, and asked him to send him into the "half-dead maze", where he met the ghost doctor.

"Boy, how are you preparing for the things and manpower that the old man asked you to prepare?" said the ghost doctor as soon as they met.The voice is so flat that it doesn't contain a trace of human emotion, and it also contains the terrifying murderous intent of a volcano erupting at any time.

Li Junhao bowed respectfully to the ghost doctor and said, "Senior! You don't have to try to poison everyone from Lou Yanming and Shangguan Bingyun under Maitreya's sect, and you don't have to poison half of the people in Jinling City to Yu Si. The envoy and chief envoy were buried together."

After a while, the ghost doctor sat back on the recliner that Yu Qingyan personally made for him, with a happy expression on his face, and said faintly: "The old man has already said that that kid Ye Chen is not from this world. , how could it be so easy to die."

Li Junhao said: "Therefore, I also invite the seniors to go to the Huaxia Weifu as the new envoy of the Weapons Department, so as to deter those who have different hearts and those who are young."

The ghost doctor sighed, and said: "Since Ye Chen almost died this time to save the old man's precious apprentice, then the old man will reluctantly help him again this time. Watch Huaxia Weifu for him first."

Li Junhao breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank you, senior."

As the longest artificial canal in the world, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal starts from Zhuojun (now Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province) in the north and ends in Hangzhou in the south, running through the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

Among them, the section of the canal from the south of the Yangtze River starting from Zhenjiang is called the Jiangnan River.

The south of the Yangtze River is rich and prosperous. From Zhenjiang to the south, ships come and go on the waterway all the way, making the Jiangnan River one of the busiest rivers in the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.The water flow in this river is gentle, and the surrounding mountains are not as magnificent as those along the Yangtze River. Between the ups and downs, the green mountains and rivers are not deep, and occasionally there are dilapidated piers, small villages, fields, or parallel to the river. On the road, pedestrians can be seen occasionally on the road, and ox carts passing by occasionally, against the boats coming and going between the rivers, it really does give people a sense of security in the south of the Yangtze River.

The width of the Jiangnan River is about fourteen to five feet, but the water is not necessarily deep, usually only about one foot and five feet. There are occasional low-lying places on both sides of the river, forming overlapping reeds. The waterfowls rise and fall, quacking the fish in the water. In the sunlight, the scenes on the water are quiet but pleasant, which is the artistic conception of landscape paintings.

This long waterway carries the water transportation around Taihu Lake and the Yangtze River, and also carries the lives of people who live by water for nearly a thousand miles.

It was the afternoon, and a merchant ship was sailing in the waterways near Suzhou. The ship was divided into two layers. It looked the same as ordinary ships on the outside, but the decoration and space inside were much larger than those of ordinary merchant ships and passenger ships on this waterway. Much more comfortable, the so-called 'outside low-key, inner luxury' is the case.

At this time, the boat was moving slowly on the canal. In the autumn sunshine, in the room on the second floor, some conversations were going on that would make the whole world horrified.

"My lord, Madam was approached by His Majesty to the palace to wait for delivery. The midwife in the palace and His Majesty personally took care of her, and the little prince took care of her deliberately. I think it is much more at ease than being in the mansion."

"So good."

"The news that your lord is still alive has been notified to some people in our Huaxia Weifu who should know according to your wishes. In addition, His Majesty is watching, and there are Li Sishi, Bai Sishi, Xu Sishi, and Jia Sishi. With the envoy in charge, the adults at Kaifeng General Mansion don’t have to worry anymore.”

"Everyone in the family, including the girl Shui'er and Huzi, don't reveal the news that I'm still alive. Otherwise, the house is the easiest place for people to see the clues."

"Yes! My lord. The king of Wuyue and Gao Chengxiang have also been notified. Presumably there will be no major problems in the land of Wuyue. It is just to clean up the rocks and find your body, my lord. General Zhao Zan's subordinates have handed it over to the Privy Council to sign Zeng Shangfei about the academy. Although there are many rocks, thousands of people have been cleaning them without clothes. It is estimated that they will be completely cleaned up in less than ten days. I will be afraid when the time comes."

"At first I thought Zhao Zan couldn't be trusted [-]% and it would be troublesome to deal with it, but now that Zeng Shangfei is handling the matter, it will be easy to handle. Tell Zeng Shangfei the news that I am still alive and all the plans, and he knows How to deal with this matter. Well! Remember to send Zeng Shangfei a set of clothes I wore when I was in Yifeng, a small town in Masu."

The two who spoke were Ye Chen and Hu Sanguang.

At this point in the conversation, Hu Sanguang suddenly understood that Zeng Shangfei might already be the chief envoy, and while feeling awe-inspiring in his heart, he also heaved a sigh of relief.

Whether it is possible to absolutely conceal the news that the chief minister is still alive, one of the biggest loopholes is whether the body of the chief minister can be found under the rocks.Hu Sanguang has a lot of headaches about this these days.Now that he is completely trusted by his own people to handle this matter, and the commander-in-chief said the same thing, he naturally doesn't have to worry anymore.

"Hu Sanguang, you said that I have been made the king of the county. When I return to Kaifeng in the future, will your majesty and the court take back my title of king?" Ye Chen said playfully.

Hu Sanguang also showed a sincere smile, and said: "Your Majesty Jinkou Yuyan, the imperial court has announced to the world, if you take back the Lord's royal award, it will not make the world laugh. It is estimated that whether it is His Majesty, or several people from the imperial court and the two houses. My lord can't afford to lose this man, and most likely he will go along with the flow and secure his position as a prince. Anyway, from the point of view of my subordinates, with my lord's great achievements, not to mention being named a county king, even if I was named a prince, I should of."
